Amy Lightner's Questionnaire

Hudson Yards!  So, you know, New York!  It's a nice place, by and large!  Why do I live here?  Well, because my parents live here, silly!  But why do we all live here?  Probably because it's a really nice, safe place.  Everything is really clean, and the schools here are really highly rated!  And there's a really fantastic music program.  I'm not in it yet, but my mom wants me to start on it. I'm thinking the flute, but.. yeah!  I'll see what instrument I like!

There's... some darkness in the streets, sometimes.  And I have to go out sometime and deal with it! And I can.

Because I have to.

"Well, I have an allowance! That's where I get most of it!  Although I have some chores and stuff which help, and I have a job after school sometimes!  As for what I spend it on?  Hmmm.  Well, I spend it on various things!  Sometimes I get lunch and stuff, and sometimes clothes and stuff. I buy school supplies occasionally!  Overall I don't really spend much of it!  Most of the things I need I already have, and.. well, I don't know what else I spend it on!  You know,  I sort of like getting nice things!  Like, little things of art and stuff! 

The Darkness is in the world. A force of despair, cruelty, decay and corruption.  And I'm striving to rid the world of it.  And... I know that's never going to happen, fully.  Not by my hand, and not by a thousand hands like mine.  Not even a million.

But maybe, just maybe, I can make the world a little bit better.  And that's a good enough ambition by itself. 

How far do I need to go?  I'll put my life on the line.

Would I kill for it?  I don't believe I'll need to kill another person to make the world better.  But the Darkness, the Darkened?  Well.  They're not really human anymore.  Just... husks that were at one point, just existing now to make the world a worse place.

Well... probably my Blossoming.  When I went from just being... normal, to being what I am now.  And knowing that I had been given power - or rather, had I always had it? - but with it came responsibility!  And I knew I needed to make the world a better place.  And... and then I was offered the chance to sign the Contract.  And have the chance to keep making it a better place. 

How could I say no?

But yes.  The Blossoming.  It was... the opening of a whole new world, and the knowledge that I was entirely more than human. 

Mm, three people?

Well, there's my mother and father!  Although I kinda feel like they just count as one person, simply because they're covered under 'family'!  Sort of! But yeah.  My father is a lawyer, and my mother is a schoolteacher!  And they're both really good people.   They've never left me wanting for anything.

There's Katie!  She's one of my best friends.  I've been best friends with her for what feels like forever, we went to kindergarten together and have shared all the same classes and we really share a lot of the same hobbies!  ...Besides, you know, fighting the darkness.  I don't think there are any other Princesses in the city, sadly.  It would be nice if there were.  There's.. a lot of people that need help.

And James!  James is my homeroom teacher.  He's really super nice, and he helps to coordinate a lot of the clubs I do and stuff! 

Mm, I don't really think my childhood is over yet!   But... well, I guess it's been good!  Really good, by any standard!  I have two, loving parents, I live in a safe area, my family is above average social class!  So.. I have a really good life.  I've always been supported.  My parents, Mark and Nicole, are great.  Not were!  Hmph.  Of course I attended school?  Who doesn't attend school?   Well.  I guess not everyone is as privileged as me.  But yes!  I did!  And I fit in really well!  I'm pretty popular!  Or at least I think I am!  But.. I dunno.  I'm on the cheer leading team, and I'm a mentor, and I try to be involved in things!

Overall, yeah.  I had a good childhood, with good parents, and I went to a good school!  And I fit in, and... well, I want to try to make things good for other people, too!

Hmmm... nope!   I've had a number of boys have like.. puppy love towards me!  But I haven't really loved anyone! Maybe a couple of crushes, but mostly just good friends!   I mean, I'm sure I'll fall in love eventually!  But I don't know if I want to yet!  Being friends is good too!  As for why not.. I dunno!  I'm young, I'm not in any rush!  I've done like, play dates with some, but... those are just silly!  Love is.. something special, right? 

It's silly, I want to say a willingness to die for the other, but.. I don't know, is that right?   I'd.. not want to die for anyone, but I'm willing to fight to try to save everyone.  I do right now.
